Pictures taken through out the experiment so you can observe

how the different colors combined in the middle cup. Did you also notice at the end of the experiment that all three cups

Water Walking with Pre K

We took plain water and added blue and yellow food coloring to each one. The question Ms. Johanna asked us was, “If we mix the colors blue and yellow, what color do we get but without pouring the two colored liquids into the empty glass? Ms. Johanna has us put a dry paper towel between the cups. We were able to watch as the paper towel soaked up the liquid and transferred it into the empty cup.

The water that started appearing in the empty cup was GREEN
